I voted call. Im essentially setmining, with the possibility of outplaying him after the flop. Thats what position is for. Yes, the call invites other players in, but Im not scared of that either. Maybe they will or maybe they wont. If unders come or I spike a jack, my LAG image could pay big for relatively little preflop investment.

Given that the description of villain is “uber-tight” I’m going to let this one go. If I had better position then maybe I’d set mine, but with so many people left to act I’d be hating it if I called and then someone else bumped it up even more. Nearing the bubble facing an uber tight player in this position – I can let Jacks go. Maybe some people will think thats too tight, but I think sometimes ya gotta be patient. Now if this was a loose, passive, or aggressive player that would be a different story – I’d probably raise preflop to isolate and then see what happens.

I am folding. Hero is in good position to cash. Imo the best you can hope to be up against are 10s or 9s, and even AK is a flip. If you know the v is a nit, then so does the rest of the table. Everyone will fold except for maybe the SB. Hero has 2 outs. If smalls flop you are not out of the woods yet; chips could flow and not toward you. JJ is a solid hand, but I see more downside than upside given this sitch.

Reluctantly fold. Very tight player with pot sized raise from middle position… very likely QQ-AA or AK. With bubble approaching and a playable stack, I don’t need to call for 10% of my stack when I’m probably behind.
